2022 Regional Summer Camps 

Skills Ontario Summer Camp is a week-long day program for kids entering grades 7-9. The program runs in various locations across the province during the months of July and August, from Monday to Friday, 9:00 am – 4:00 pm. Through hands-on activities relevant to the skilled trades, campers develop communication, problem-solving and teamwork skills.

Campers take part in hands-on workshops led by Skills Ontario counselors and industry/college professionals that introduce them to a variety of topics in the industrial, construction, motive power, service, and technology sectors; they explore careers in skilled trades through interactive games, industry tours and entrepreneurship programs. The camps are facilitated in partnership with colleges, industries and community volunteers who are committed to giving the campers an outstanding hands-on experience. Note that schedules vary per location based on available volunteers and programming. 

Cancellations received up to 22 days prior to the start of camp will be subject to a $40 administration fee, while cancellations requested within 21 days or less are non-refundable. 

The early bird rate, valid March 21 to May 5th, is $210. The regular rate, May 6th onward, is $240. School boards registrations are open now. Contact campmanager@skillsontario.com to reserve spaces for your school board. All cancellations are refundable, minus a $40 administrative fee. Registrations for summer camps end the Friday before each week of camp begins at 12:00 pm. Skills Ontario Summer Camps will be following all Covid-19 policies as per the Ministry of Health guideline, as well as any specific guidelines put forth by the location host. Registrants will be informed of any updates to Covid policies in advance of the event. Thank you for your patience!
